  • Submission: Complaints must be submitted in writing via the official journal email.
  • Appeals: Authors may appeal a rejection if they can provide a clear rebuttal to the reviewers' or editors' comments.
  • Review: Every complaint will be reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief or a delegated member of the Editorial Board who was not involved in the original decision.
  • Resolution: The journal aims to provide a formal response and resolution within four weeks of receiving the complaint.

The final decision on any appeal rests with the Editor-in-Chief. This process ensures that all scientific contributions are evaluated with the highest integrity.
